My surgery is scheduled for June 7. I'm excited and nervous all rolled up into one. Did anyone else battle their nerves before surgery?

Yeah! You are so close! I can understand your excitement to go on with life- healthier and stronger. I have unfortunately had a series of surgeries this past few years and have found that once I have made it "real" in my mind, the stress goes away, and I actually look forward to getting it over with and look forward to post-op. My jitters would be because of anticipation of actually feeling better- so it's a positive for me. My last knee surgery, I was in so much pain and knew from previous experience, that I would feel so much better once I had it fixed, I couldn't wait to have it done. I don't really know what to expect for this- but I am looking forward to getting my life back!

I am hoping to have my sleeve in September. If I could have it tomorrow, I would. My surgeon requires a 3 month pre-op program. Best of luck on the 7th, don't worry- you will be fine! Please let us know about your experience!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
